I am so excited about this dish. One of the most amazing preparations that I had was this betki maach

Cooking procedure:

Take fishpieces ( preferably fillets)

Marinate with turmeric powder and salt

Make a paste of mustard powder, mustard oil, ginger garlic paste and green chilly

Remove the thin rib from the centre of the plantain leaf and put it in  the frying pan

Wrap the fish with the paste in the plantain leaf and cover it with another plantain leaf .Place the  lid.Cook it in low flame for 15 mins. Remove the lid . Place a  plate on top of the pan, and turn the pan upside down. Do it fast , so that the semi steamed fish gets  transferred to the plate upside down. Hence  there is one leaf on top of the fish, and another  at the bottom. The top burnt leaf needs to be removed and  place a fresh plantain leaf on the pan. Put the fish back to the pan.  Cook under  closed lid in low flame for about 15 mins.

Preparation is raedy
